Be on Alert for Ransomeware

Ransomware attacks are growing more than 350% annually.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software (malware), designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid.

If your device has been exposed to ransomware, take action:

• Contact your bank immediately.
• Review your account for any unauthorized charges.
• Consider reporting the attack to your local police department, and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
• Clients may also report phishing email to reportphishing@antiphishing.org. The Anti-Phishing Working Group uses these reports to fight phishing.
